Much has been written lately regarding tho

posers. There can be no doubt that. in other

No doubt there is something comic in the
ardent affection with which a professor hugs
his pet theory regarding the Greek native, or
the origin of honey in flowers, and in the fe-
rocity with which he will defend it against
his friends, if they happen to oppose it. But
such complete devotion to abstract theories is
absolutely necessary to the discovery of orig
inal ideas: and, as women are rarely able or
willing to emerge from the haunts OF per-
sonal emotion, this explains why they have
achieved greatness in hardly any art but
novel writing, which is chiefly concerned with
personal emotions. Among great performers,

Maine Liquor Case.
A Main Liquor Case.

AUGUSTA, April 1.-THE liquor case on
trial in the Superior Court here has devel-
oped a conflict between the Federal and
State Courts as the result of a clash be-
tween the new liquor law OF the State and
the regulations OF the Internal Revenue De-
partment. One Of the provisions of the
new liquor law is that payment OF the retail
Internal Revenue tax shall be considered
prima tacie evidence of its violation, law
and penalties provided shall be inflicted
without further process. In the case on
trial, Reuben G. Hall, charged with viola
ton OF the law, and Deputy Collector OF
to testify as to the payment OF the retail
tax by the defendant. Murphy refused to
testify, stating that if he should give such
evidence his action would be likely to re-
duce the amount If collections in his dis
trict, besides contrary to the instructions
of Collector Redman. Judge Whitehouse
then ordered him committed Tor contempt
and suspended action until 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning, the prisoner meanwhile
remaining in custody of the Sheriff. This
was to give Murphy IN oppor-
tunity Of petitioning Judge Webb,
of the United States District Court OF
Portland for a writ of habeas corpus, the
necessary papers for which were at once
forwarded. This morning Collector Red
man telegraphed Judge Whitehouse that
Murphy was acting in accordance with in
.structions of the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, and requested the prisoners dis
charge. This request Was not granted and
the case was continued. The result OF the
case will have an important bearing or the
matter of administering the liquor laws

lature.
